Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 748610-5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact type: Female socket
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Contact form: Stamped construction
• Wire gauge compatibility: 22-28 AWG or overlapping range
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute Classification:

Direct Equivalent (1658686-3): This TE Connectivity part maintains identical wire gauge (22-28 AWG), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold flash), termination method (crimp), and contact form (stamped). Both parts belong to the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series. The primary distinction is that 1658686-3 is classified as a contact component in active production status with ROHS3 compliance.

Similar Substitute (180-002-170L001): This NorComp Inc. part provides functional substitution with compatible contact type (female socket), termination method (crimp), material (phosphor bronze), and finish (gold). The wire gauge specification is 24-26 AWG, which overlaps with the 22-28 AWG range of the original part. This part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and features enhanced contact finish thickness (10.0µin) with nickel termination finish.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Series Continuity):

Part 1658686-3 is the primary substitute for 748610-5. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity and belong to the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including wire gauge (22-28 AWG), contact material, finish type, and termination method. The critical advantage is active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. This part is suitable for applications requiring seamless compatibility with existing connector assemblies.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution (Functional Compatibility):

Part 180-002-170L001 from NorComp Inc. provides functional substitution when series continuity is not required. This part maintains core compatibility parameters: female socket contact type, crimp termination, phosphor bronze material, and gold finish. The wire gauge specification (24-26 AWG) overlaps the original range (22-28 AWG), accommodating the majority of typical applications. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant. The contact finish thickness is specified at 10.0µin (0.25µm) compared to flash thickness on the original part, providing enhanced durability. The termination finish differs (nickel versus tin), which may require evaluation based on specific application requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, supporting modern procurement and export requirements. The obsolete status of 748610-5 makes transition to active alternatives necessary for sustained supply chain operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1658686-3 be used as a direct replacement for 748610-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series and share identical wire gauge (22-28 AWG), contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold flash), termination method (crimp), and contact form (stamped). The primary difference is product status: 748610-5 is obsolete while 1658686-3 is active with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility between 748610-5 and 180-002-170L001?

A: The original part 748610-5 accommodates 22-28 AWG wire. The NorComp substitute 180-002-170L001 is specified for 24-26 AWG. The 24-26 AWG range falls within the original specification, making this part suitable for applications using wire in this overlapping range. Applications requiring 22-23 AWG or 27-28 AWG wire would require evaluation of the tighter specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. Part 1658686-3 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Part 180-002-170L001 is also supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both differ from the original 748610-5 packaging specification, which was not detailed in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness between the parts?

A: Part 748610-5 specifies flash gold finish thickness (exact thickness not provided). Part 1658686-3 also specifies flash gold finish. Part 180-002-170L001 specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm) gold finish thickness, providing a defined and measurable thickness specification compared to flash finishes.

Q: Do the termination finishes differ between parts?

A: Yes. Part 748610-5 specifies tin termination finish. Part 1658686-3 does not specify termination finish in available data. Part 180-002-170L001 specifies nickel termination finish. Applications sensitive to termination finish material should evaluate this parameter based on soldering or assembly process requirements.

Q: Are both substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1658686-3 and 180-002-170L001 are ROHS3 compliant. The original part 748610-5 has not applicable RoHS status due to its obsolete classification.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: Part 1658686-3 has 30,650 pieces in stock. Part 180-002-170L001 has 125,941 pieces in stock. Both parts maintain substantial inventory levels supporting immediate procurement.
